Daniel Said

We recently caught up with Daniel, the drummer of SoulCheq and this is what he had to say about the recent trip to Philippines.

Was it everything you expected?
Not fully but... yes..it was a great exprience for that week. Its about making friends, building relationships through the music.

What was your most memorable moment during the trip?
Meeting snowy and getting to take close up pictures of him. No.. kiddin. just having the chance to see and meet new friends was the most memorable one.

Did anything you experienced change you?
Yes of cause. Changed me a bit in more loving and giving towards the society and stop worrying about what I am going to eat tomorrow!

So would you go again?
If the people in Philipines wants me to visit them again, of cause i will shop up with a better drum kit and a better thundering sound.

Thrilla in Manila!

It has been a truly awesome time in Philippines and there is neither enough space nor words to describe fully the time the guys had over in Tacloban City.

So here are some pics to tell the story:

The 10 days we spent there saw us have the opportunity to minister to the Tacloban City Jail, outreach in La Paz, enjoying the traffic in Manila and swimming in Dulag.

From mango shakes at Tacloban City, hanging on the back of jeepneys in Palo to playing in Pastrana it was a truly memorable time for all of us.

God is truly great as we saw hundreds of people make decisions to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. The Philippinos are truly the most hospitable and friendly people I have met anywhere in the world. I was encouraged to meet so many of them as they welcomed us into their home.

Special mention and thanks to Ps Mark, Ps Wayne & Rosie, Munching, Edgar, Ps Carlos, Ps Steve, Jimmy the Chef and Snowy for their help, prayer and support.

We plan to return to Philippines in the future for what was definitely an experience to remember! We'll be back...
